Rising Stars Award Program


The Rising Stars Award program is aimed at engaging up-and-coming appraisal professionals by honoring young leaders who have demonstrated significant contributions and successes throughout the year within the valuation profession.  Rising Stars honorees are nominated and selected by the Rising Stars Committee based on their professional achievements in the workplace and their volunteer efforts at the local, national or international levels.  Representatives from all six appraisal disciplines are eligible for nomination. The program culminates with an awards ceremony and reception at ASAʼs International Conference to recognize and celebrate all the Rising Stars.
